High-Tech Services in Agriculture
Government has taken following steps to provide digital and hi-tech services which will open up opportunities for Private Entrepreneurs:
-
-
- The Department has constituted a high level Task Force, which is in the process of finalizing a report on India Digital Ecosystem of Agriculture  which would lay down the architecture of Digital AgriStack with unique ID for farmers, and standards for interoperability between various data streams in the Agristack. This would open up possibilities for developing services and solutions by Private Entrepreneurs.
- Provisions are being made under Agriculture Infrastructure Fund  to fund private agritech players.
- Government of India has made an announcement in the Union Budget 2022 regarding the setting up of a fund routed through NABARD under a co-investment model to finance startups in the agritech space.
- Government is providing financial assistance through Sub Mission on Agricultural  to Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institutes , Indian Council for agricultural Research  Institutes, Krishi Vigyan Kendra , Farmer Producer Organizations  and State Agricultural Universities  for drone demonstrations and for establishment/upgrading the Custom Hiring Centres / Hi-Tech Hub for providing agricultural services by using drone technology. Drone service providers can also avail benefits of Agriculture Infrastructure Fund.
- Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna  is a central Sponsored scheme. State can implement projects under RKVY in PPP mode by approving such projects by the State Level Sanctioning Committee  of the state. List of projects approved by some states in PPP mode under RKVY is given at Annexure –I.
- A component called “Innovation and Agri-Entrepreneurship Development” has been launched under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana  in 2018-19 with the objective of promoting innovation and agri-entrepreneurship by providing financial support and nurturing the incubation ecosystem. Under this programme, start-ups are encouraged to use innovative technologies to resolve challenges faced in agriculture and allied sectors. A total of 799 start-ups have been selected in various areas of agriculture and allied sectors under this programme for providing financial support through Knowledge Partners and Agri Business Incubators appointed by government for implementation of this programme. List of KPs and R-ABIs is given at annexure-II.
- The Indian Council of Agriculture Research  has been supporting Agri-based startups under the project called National Agriculture Innovation Fund  initiated in year 2016-2017. It has two components viz. I. Innovation Fund; II. Incubation Fund and National Coordinating Unit :
Component I: 10 Zonal Technology Management Units and 89 Institute Technology Management Units  established in 99 ICAR institutes provide a single-window mechanism to manage innovations, showcase intellectual assets, and pursue matters related to intellectual property  management and transfer/commercialization of technologies in these institutes.
Component II: Agri-business Incubator Centres  are set up to speed up the delivery of the new technologies to stake holders. The ABICs are the nodal point to provide the desired link for Agriculture Research & Development  Institutions for incubation/ commercialization of the validated technologies.
